Fictional Podcasts

Movie and TV producer BLUMHOUSE is partnering with IHEARTMEDIA on a series of fictional podcasts with an eye towards developing the scripts for film and television. The first fruit of the partnership will be "THE MANTAWAUK CAVES," a horror podcast from DAN BUSH, debuting early next year. The shows will also be distributed for broadcast across iHEARTMEDIA stations. BLUMHOUSE TELEVISION Co-Presidents JEREMY GOLD and MARCI WISEMAN will oversee the podcast venture for BLUMHOUSE.

“We’re such avid fans of great podcasts at BLUMHOUSE -- the compelling storytelling that engrossing podcasts offer -- and we were eager to partner with iHEARTRADIO to curate a slate of dark, fictional stories together,” said BLUMHOUSE founder JASON BLUM. “We’re thrilled the partnership has already produced ‘THE MANTAWAUK CAVES,’ the first of what we hope are several successful collaborations.”

“We think fiction is one of the next big genres in podcasting, tapping into the incredible imaginative power we all have – the theater of the mind – and so we couldn’t be more excited to bring this slate of shows into the world, starting with ‘THE MANTAWAUK CAVES,’” said iHEARTPODCAST NETWORK President CONAL BYRNE. “BLUMHOUSE is truly masterful at creating some of the best suspense thrillers and horror movies around and, with their help, we can’t wait to introduce a series of captivating, world-class audio content to the iHHEARTPODCAST NETWORK.”
